One of my people just “went home” so…

Into your hands, O merciful Savior, we commend your servant, Dolores. Acknowledge, we humbly beseech you, a sheep of your own fold, a lamb of your own flock, a sinner of your own redeeming. Receive her into the arms of your mercy, into the blessed rest of everlasting peace, and into the glorious company of the saints in light. Amen.

She and I did butt heads while she was parish council president but… she really cared about the parish and she was going to make sure it survived! Despite any butting of heads that she and I had, she was the first person I called when I needed prayer because she was an AMAZING prayer warrior. My mom still asks about her because she kept all of us in prayer 3 years ago when my grandfather died. I think the reason Daniel did so well was that she kept him seriously in prayer. 🙂
